Customer Review: Great Product - I love this device!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I swim laps at lunch and this device helps get me into the flow and complete my workouts. Earplugs fit snug in your ear and it easily attaches to your googles. You can't feel the device on your head/googles, other than the earpieces that you use. The sound is good too.
Customer Review: Well worth it

This product is great. I had read some of the reviews prior to purchasing and it was really hit or miss. Perhaps it really just depends on what you are expecting. My expectations were for soley to have music while I worked out. I bought this to wear for my morning lap swimming. This was my first mp3 player of any kind.
It was very easy to set-up and I've even taken to wearing it during my runs as well with a regular pair of headphones. The sound quality to me is great; I have not noticed any difference between regular headphones and the waterproof ones provided while I am swimming.
The unit is very light and easy to attach to a pair of goggles. It doesn't affect my swimming, I hardly notice it at all. Every once in a while the wire will lay against the side of my neck but after a couple of strokes it will correct itself and go back to where you don't even notice it.
I did have an issue with my first pair of headphones having different volumes and then the right side completely giving out randomly with sound. Speedo was very efficient and sent me a new pair that arrived in a couple of days at no cost. These second headphones have not caused me any problems. I don't know if it is because I wear a swimcap so the cap is pushing the headphones against my head but I will have to say they are not the most comfortable headhphones I've ever worn. Once I've started swimming they don't bother me, but afterwards my ears are sore for a couple of moments after I take them out. Does it bother me enough to stop using them? No. Would they make me consider giving up on using the Aquabeat? Not a chance.
Customer Review: Sound Good!?
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I really like this product, I swim for about 4 hours a week, it took me some time to get use to it, as you need to see what plugs will best fit your ears.
Don't expect ipod quality, you are still at the water but the music sounds great.
You can RIP CD's from windows media player, MP3 are recommended.
As for the price, this is an expensive MP3 player, but it works great and worth the money.
Cons - no LCD, you still need to deal with setting the headphones every 20 laps.
Don't waste you time at the GYM - SWIM!
Customer Review: Speedo Aquabeat MP3 player
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased the Speedo Aquabeat MP3 player for my wife and daughter for Christmas. They love it. I initialy experienced trouble with the software provided. However, the Speedo Aquabeat support was able to provide me with the updated version of the software. Once installed I was able to download and create a playlist for both. Just like most software,the product is easy to use as long as you have the most current version. As of Jan 2009 the latest version I was provided is SPDA V 6.03.0Customer Review: Easier Laps
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
After reading other reviews before purchasing the Speedo AquaBeat, I was apprehensive that the player would work as advertised. I have been using the AquaBeat for several months now and it makes lap swimming much more enjoyable. I removed the outer ear piece holders and rely on the tight fit of the ear inserts. On ocassion, one of the ear microhones will fallout when swimming for maximum speed; but is to be expected. I am very satisfied with the player.
